Another avoidable misadventure was Angle’s infamous October appearance at Rancho High School in Las Vegas. Several “elites” adamantly lobbied against participating in the event, but the grassroots insisted upon her appearance. When a student asked a question about the ethnicity of some illegal immigrants portrayed in a campaign ad, Angle gave a rambling answer, at one point telling the predominantly Latino audience that some of them “look a little more Asian” than Hispanic.

A candidate needs to have stock answers / talking points to the ten or twelve major issues, and certainly immigration is one of them. You steer the question to the talking point, and say what YOU want to say, and not necessarily answer the specific question. This one is on Angle. Bad mistake.

Also, this underscores the need to get the globalist RINOs out of the party and all connected entities, like campaign management. Sounds like the national consultants really missed the boat on what her campaign was all about.

Experience is what you get when you were looking for something else. But there are some good lessons to be learned here. Go with your core. Lead, don’t follow. Practice, practice, practice. Have your act together. Let’s hope we learn them.

And this is what the professionals should have targeted, rather than randomly shifting her schedule which seems more a tactic to get her disoriented rather than a tactic for winning. The comment about sending her to events without preparation seems telling - it sounds very unprofessional, so if these were professionals, the implication is that it was premeditated.
